Out of the Pit

He lifted me out of the pit of despair,

out of the mud and the mire.

He set my feet on solid ground

and steadied me as I walked along.

Psalm 40:2

Do you feel like you are in a pit today?

Financial struggles, a sick child,

a habit that you don't seem to be

able to overcome, or a

relationship that has gone bad

can bring us to a point of

frustration, disappointment,

or even discouragement.

When you are in a pit,

it's difficult to see a way out.

But in these times you've got to

remind yourself that God is still with you.

He will make a way where there seems to be no way.

God will never waste any experience

you go through in life.

If you'll maintain and attitude of trust,

He will turn your situation around

for your good.

It doesn't matter how you got there,

whether it was by your own poor choices

more maybe someone else has treated you

unfairly. God wants to use that

situation to do a work in you.

You may be uncomfortable at times,

but realize that you are growing,

and God is building your character.

Today, choose to shake off any negative,

self-defeating mindsets.

Choose to cooperate with God.

Trust that He is preparing you for

greater things.

As you live with an attitude of

faith, expectancy, and thanksgiving,

He will lift you up and set you on

the solid path of victory!

Have a blessed & powerful day!
